David, I can tell you, (I know I don't pipe up too often, but...) that they 
have VASTLY improved over the last 18 months. Just be aware, if you're bleeding 
edge on a printer or ESPECIALLY a graphics card, that can play havoc with some 
of the open source programs. just FYI, but I DO recommend them!
